All Terrain AquaSport SPF30 Oxybenzone-Free Natural Sunscreen

This is the reformulated All Terrain containing only 19%zinc oxide as the active sunscreen filter. I bought this to use on my son, who hates to sit still for sunscreen applications, especially cream formulas. Most spray-on sunscreen use some combination of chemical filters; the All Terrain is the only spray form zinc oxide based sunscreen I have found. I prefer to use zinc and/or titanium dioxide for sunscreen because they are not absorbed through my sons skin. Shake first to ensure the zinc is suspended in the liquid. This applies quickly, and while it does require spreading over the skin, the slippery smooth milky textured formula spreads fast and is very water resistant. (The only thing that could make it faster is if it was aerosol dispensed in a fine mist that did not need to be spread by hand over skin.) It is very slightly whitening at first, then settles on the skin to clear. It is somewhat shiny for the face, but great for body. Full ingredients below.

Active Ingredients: Zinc Oxide: 19%

Inactive Ingredients: Aloe Vera (Aloe Barbadensis) Gel, Bladderwrack (Fucus Vesiculosus) Extract, Caprylic/capric triglycerides, Caprylyl Glycol, Cucumber (Cucumis Sativus) Extract, d-alpha Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Grapefruit (Citrus Grandis) Seed Extract, Jojoba Oil, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (Vitamin C), Sea Kelp (Macrocystis Pyrifera)

Extract, Sunflower (Helianthus Annuus) Oil.

I ordered this sunscreen because it was rated as safe by the Environmental Working Group.When I received it, I was horrified to find that it contains 6% oxybenzoneAND octinoxate 7.2%.EWG lists both of these ingredients as hazardous.For some reason, these ingredients are not listed on the EWG web page, but they are listed as active ingredients on tube.If EWG knew of these ingredients, I don't think the sunscreen would receive the safe rating they give.

I just bought this in a store and it is labeled on the pkg "Oxybenzone and Paraben-Free". It does have Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide. The exp date is 3-13, so maybe you got an old formula. I can't rate its effectiveness, though, haven't tried it yet.

I also bought this product based upon the EWG rating and, having just received it today, was likewise horrified to find that it contains oxybenzone, vitamin A, as well as a litany of other ingredients which I was specifically trying to avoid, especially when paying a premium price.Obviously, they changed their formulation since EWG purchased theirs.There are better options, like Vanicream and Purple Prairie, which I also ordered.

I looked for a sunscreen that wasn't full of chemicals (the kind that react with skin to form the sun barrier) so that's why I tried this sunscreen.

Aquasport was just ok, not great, but not too bad either.It appears that it's a formulation with a sun block powder mixed with an oily substance.

You have to shake it a little to keep them together, but they do stay together while applying.

There's no white residue, which I liked.

What I didn't like was the look and feel of being oiled up. I looked greasy and it stayed that was for about an hour.I prefer a drier feel so I can put on my bathing suit and coverup sooner.

I burned at the beach, but only mildly.
